Celebebrating over 70years of Botanic Primary School

Our history

Botanic Primary School is celebrating it's 70th anniversary this year!!!

It has been very exciting finding out about the opening of the school. The children started school on 5th May 1939 and the official opening was 9th June 1939. The school was celebrated as the latest in modern design, especially the outside ampitheatre - as an outdoor classroom, in the middle of the school.

However, there was a little controversy, as the school was built on land proposed as an extension to the Botanical Gardens!

Who know's what other things we'll discover!!!!
